This spring I bought a few dozen eggs off some people who sell farm fresh eggs, and I figured I'd give them a go in my old incubator. Amazingly some strong babies made it! Not many, but I did get 8 healthy hens. The eggs were large and brown, I have no idea what kind of chickens they came from. My girls are going to be 7 months old in about a week, and color and size only varies slightly between them all. I only have two hens out of them all that are larger, and have dark red, large combs. They still aren't laying, but I am hoping they will start soon. Any ideas on breed??
 
I thought they looked like buffs, only the color is just slightly more tan than my pure buff orphington rooster, hes more of a gold, so I wasn't sure. They are also on the smaller size.
 
Probably mixed breeds involving red sex links. The white in their tails is usually a clue for that.

They appear to have white legs.. which is a dominant trait and not too common in anything except orpingtons so maybe buff orp mixed with red sexlink?
